Longtime WPTV photojournalist Jim Sitton hosted Thanksgiving dinner at his home in Jupiter, FL. Seventeen family members attended, including the suspect, who left the dinner only to return, armed with a handgun.
35-year-old Paul Michael Merhige is accused of killing Makayla, his aunt 76-year-old Raymonde Joseph, and his twin sisters Carla Merhige and Lisa Knight, who was pregnant. A fifth victim, Lisa’s husband Patrick Knight was shot and is being treated at a hospital.
Yesterday, Jim Sitton mustered the courage and spoke to his station, and others, about his daughter, Makayla.
“I just want to let everyone know that she’s in heaven,” said Sitton. “We know where she is, and that’s the only reason I can stand here today. God has blessed us with a beautiful little girl and he just took her home.”
My brain can’t even process the utter tragedy of this story.
